The Museum's 1940 excavations in Sitio Conte form the basis of this upcoming exhibition. A trove of letters, records, and notes concerning the expedition to Panama are preserved in the Museum Archives—and now featured on the Penn Museum blog. Follow along in "real time”—75 years later—as J. Alden Mason prepares to lead an expedition to the now-famous site. Read about the plans for the excavation as they were made, and stay tuned for more occasional updates in the weeks leading up to the exhibition's opening.
